Fact Checked by Ericka Pingol.
What Hysterectomy ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you’re looking for Hysterectomy ICD codes, none mention hysterectomy in their names, so it wouldn’t be surprising if you have trouble finding one. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any, though!
For surgical procedures, ICD-10 codes are meant to explain that they’ve already happened. Some have ICD-10 codes for screening patients if they can undergo particular procedures.
In the case of Hysterectomy, there are only ICD-10 codes that indicate that a patient has already undergone a Hysterectomy. Here they are:
- Z90.710 - Acquired absence of both cervix and uterus
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to no longer have a cervix and uterus due to surgery. If you’ve performed a Hysterectomy on a patient, you can use this after the procedure for their medical record.
- Z90.711 - Acquired absence of uterus with remaining cervical stump
This is the same as Item 1, but this time, it’s for patients who have undergone a surgical procedure that removed their uterus but not their cervical stump.
Are both of these ICD-10 codes for Hysterectomy billable?
Yes. Both Hysterectomy ICD-10 codes are valid and billable. Please note that these ICD-10 codes are only valid for female patients.

Commonly asked questions
Surgery for any problem should be the last resort or the only option. If there are alternative ways of handling a patient’s uterus-related problems, it would be best to try other possible solutions before surgery.
Surgery, alongside chemotherapy and radiation therapy, will likely be one of the go-to options for uterine cancer.
Normally, it takes one to three hours to accomplish a Hysterectomy fully. The length of time depends on the uterus size and if the surgeon has to deal with scar tissue or remove surrounding parts like the cervix and tissues.
